Is there a command similar to mysql_list_dbs  for MS SQL?

RE: [PHP-DB] search question

2002-09-17 Thread Cal Evans

it depends on how you design your database.  When I know I will have this
situation, I design a table named keyWords. Put one work per record and
assign each word an ID number.  Then I create a join table between keyWords
and whatever table they relate to.  The join table only contains 2 fields,
the pk from keyWords and the pk from the other table.  Then I ad 1 record to
the join table for each keyword that relates to each record in the other
table.

It's simple then to join the 3 tables in such a manner as to quickly find
the records in the other table that relate to a specific key word.

You could check out the FULLTEXT searching in MySQL, too. It's in the
manual. It has some quirks, but works well on a large database.

Re: [PHP-DB] Trying to speed up php output from mysql

2002-09-17 Thread Ignatius Reilly

Does your process hang or simply is too long? Perhaps the limiting factor is
not the writing speed, but a memory requirement problem.

Try to compute how long it should take:
- do your row processing after a SELECT ... LIMIT 1000 clause
- time how long it takes, and extrapolate

Then you will know.

Subject: [PHP-DB] Trying to speed up php output from mysql


 Hi,

 I've got a script that I've written that writes out a xml file from
 mysql via php.

 The file should contain 250,000 xml style records, but it takes so long
 to generate the file the process has to be stopped before complete.

 I can't use mysqldump because of some of the processing that is required
 on the fields after they are extracted.

 Is there a faster way to write to a file than fwrite() or any other
 bright ideas?

does the id attribute of an input tag override the name attribute when
trying to pull these vales on a subsequent php page? Does it make any
difference?

I ask cause I'm now PHP-ifing a form I designed in Dreamweaver and it added
ids attributes all over the place. Wonder if I should edit them, delete
them, etc... ???

[PHP-DB] PHP and Mail under Apache Windows?

2002-09-17 Thread Chris Payne

Hi there everyone,

I've just setup Apache 2.0 under Windows XP and LOVE it, PHP and MySQL work fine and 
people are saying how fast the server is.  However, I am stumped on one thing - how 
the heck does I set it up so Mail will work?  With my old server (Linux) it was 
already configured, but from what I understand I have to do something to get it to 
send mail from Apache/PHP now?

As a note, under linux I used sendmail.

Please help, I am so confused I don't know where to start to get the mail working.

Thanks for everything

nope - an id is used for other things (like javascript, style sheets, DHTML

[PHP-DB] Resubmit on page refresh.

2002-09-17 Thread Rich Hutchins

I have a page that maintains a very simple list of items. The page shows the
current items on the list and provides an input field for the user to add
new items to the list. Everything works great. The only problem I'm having
is that each time the user clicks the Refresh button on the browser, I get
that dialog box telling me The page cannot be refreshed without sending the
information. Then the last value is added to the database again and again
and again each time the user hits the Refresh button. In know that's a
browser feature that I can't control, but is there a way that after
submitting the information to the database using the form and associated SQL
statements, I can unset the variables. I've already tried unset($sql) and
unset($variable), but to no avail.

Here's the php code from the top of the page:
if (isset($_POST[newStatus]))
{
$thisStatus=addslashes($_POST[newStatus]);
$addStatusSQL=INSERT INTO status values(Null,'$thisStatus');

mysql_query($addStatusSQL)
or die(mysql_error());

unset($_POST[newStatus]);
unset($addStatusSQL);
}
.
.
.
Many wondrous things happen in here...
.
.
.
And here's the form code from the bottom of the page:

form action=bookStatAdmin.php method=post
table
trtdinput type=text 
name=newStatus/input/td/tr
trtdnbsp;/td/tr
trtdinput type=submit 
name=submit/input/td/tr
/table
/form

Any suggestions?

RE: [PHP-DB] Selecting one random column from MySQL

2002-09-17 Thread John Holmes

 How can I select one random column from a MySQL table?

You can't, in one query. You can use the MySQL_ function to get a list
of all the columns, though, and then use PHP to select a random column
and construct an SQL statement. 

If you need to do something like this, though, there is something wrong
in your database schema...

I really hope you just subscribed, because this question already been
asked today...and yesterday... You should search the archive before you
post.

Anyhow, the solution to your problem can be solved by using a
processing page that does the insert into the database and then
redirects to the main page that shows the list. The processing page
should not display anything at all, just do the insert and redirect.
Then the refresh will just refresh the page it was redirect to, and have
nothing to do with the processing.

  i am doing this with the funcion :
 
  echo date(F d, Y, $date_test);
 
  but getting a strange result as, January 01, 1970

The date() function takes a timestamp as its second argument, so you have 
to
convert your textual date before passing it to date().  With the format you
have, strtotime should work, so try date(F d, Y, strtotime($date_test))

(P.S. You get January 01, 1970 because PHP converts 2002-08-02 to the
number 2002 before passing it to date() -- and this represents about 0:33 
on
that date!)

Cheers!
